It's hard to play a laptop in the midst of band and have people want to buy your t-shirts and CD's.

I typically get around to most major cities at least once a year. I think people see that as their chance to go nuts for the year if they're into the style of music.

I make a living off of playing shows; the albums only make me a fraction of what I make off of shows, especially since I'm doing around 100 shows a year.

I listen to music constantly, and I'm always hearing things I love that I'm excited to use.

I always like the people who keep moving forward, but kind of stay in their own lane.

In the past, hearing music had more value.

A lot of artists are used to their music being reused online and have come to accept and embrace it. You have a generation who go on YouTube and remake and remix music online all the time. They remake and upload songs and videos, and then other people remake the remakes; it just keeps going.
